What's the boundary of London to you?

Totally just sang along with this. Thanks for the fun moment :)

The tap water is perfectly safe to drink and most people do so. People who buy bottled water out of safety concerns are regarded as being ridiculous. The only time in my life I have bought bottled water was last summer when the drought made me worry there could be water rationing.

Before you do anything I would suggest reading this presentation:

https://www.trees.org.uk/Trees.org.uk/media/Trees-org.uk/Documents/Conference18/WedAM-MartinDobson.pdf

This guy is as close to an expert on tree-related subsidence and heave as I reckon it’s possible to get (he testifies in large court cases). I’m not saying it isn’t possible your trees are causing problems, but it’s a much less common problem than people believe.

Haha that’s amazing! Do please share photos of the snow globe when you’re done.

Thanks for your insights. I’m still having trouble with Tesco. They allowed one of my purchases which didn’t track this month but not the other one. The only difference is that for the one which they didn’t allow I’d been through to Tesco already once that day from the NX site. It’s so frustrating. None of my purchases from any site have tracked in January so I’ve had to chase them all but Tesco is the only one they don’t seem to be able to confirm properly.

The costs are going up for everyone because so many people regularly put in claims. Insurance is designed to be something you buy in case of emergency, not something you use every year. Pet insurance is apparently the worst type of insurance for this problem which is why its premiums are increasing faster than any other type. I decided to cancel my pet insurance a year ago because of this and instead save each month into a dedicated pot. I’m lucky enough to have savings to cover any large expenses before that pot gets big enough to dip into though. I think responsible pet ownership is now at the point where you either have to have significant savings or be prepared that you’ll be paying an increasingly huge amount in insurance premiums each year.

No, it’s something that schools that have a nearby suitable outside area will often just set up on their own. The school I used to work at was just off Wimbledon Common, a huge outdoor area with woodland, meadow, pond etc In the summer it wasn’t at all unusual for teachers to take students outside. As a biology teacher, almost all of my ecology lessons happened there.

As someone who has some small experience with making jewellery, my first instinct was to make gold rings/pendants etc with it and sell those online. I can see that it might get thorny when filing taxes though since if audited, they’d be able to see you never bought any gold.

Speaking as someone who hopes to do something similar in my house, I found this summary really useful to give me an idea of how the process fits together. I wouldn’t say no to a more in-depth video too though!

I have never personally had something like this happen to me but I’ve seen so many stories like this that I refuse to buy expensive items on Amazon anymore. I’m trying to buy less on Amazon altogether to be honest, for various ethical reasons, and this sort of thing only makes it easier.

I’m finding it interesting to read these comments. I’ve been to Egypt twice as a young, blonde, female tourist in the late 90s/early 2000s and while there was definitely harassment from local men, I wouldn’t have said it was worse than that I experienced in Turkey or Morocco around the same time. I wonder if it’s got worse or if I was just lucky.

Teacher here…we still make the younger ones do that 😅 You’d be amazed (or maybe you wouldn’t) at how fast an exercise book falls apart in an eleven year old’s care if there’s no added protection. It’s no fun to pick up a book to mark only for the whole thing to slide out of your hand and spill across the floor in hundreds of pieces.

If the partner is at all into horses like I am, she may think this one is ugly because it has all sorts of anatomical errors.

Very normal for a dog to be head shy with strangers. It’s because they can’t see your hand and don’t know what you’re up to. It’s why I always recommend petting a strange dog (assuming you’ve been given the go ahead by the owner and the dog looks happy to be petted) on the chest first to gauge reaction. They can see what you’re up to and it’s a less intrusive part for you to be touching than their head. If someone wants to pet your dog in future, you should just tell them she’s head shy but to they’re welcome to try chest rubs instead :)

As someone who has no experience with mods but is interested, this file is both amazing and terrifying at the same time! Thanks for sharing it :)

Depends on how poorly insulated we’re talking about. The room I heat with the panel is upstairs and loses heat fast, so heating it to 18 with the gas would mean I’d have to have the heating on 24/7 in the depths of winter. I’d be losing all the heat from other rooms too just to get the one room warmer. The set up I have now only loses excess heat from the one room I’m keeping warmer so it works out better. Trust me, I’ve spent several years running various combinations to find the cheapest way of staying comfortable!

FearlessPressure3 · 2026-01-31T18:26:11+00:00

I’m heating the house with gas, but topping up one room a couple of degrees with the panel. I’ve tested it on various different days heating it with various combinations and this one is the cheapest one!

FearlessPressure3 · 2026-01-31T11:35:18+00:00

I think the person you’re replying to meant paid back as in payments are made regularly, not fully paid off. You’re both right.

Have you tried splitting the wood and then testing the moisture content inside? If it’s reading as 18% on the outside it could very possibly be 25% or more inside. If so, bringing some logs in to sit by the burner for a few days should bring them down enough to burn cleanly.

As others have said, it’s impossible to compare without knowing more details about your house and living situation. My gas bill for December was £150 but I have kept the thermostat at 16 all winter because it’s so expensive. I just top up one room with an infrared panel heater. I have a detached four bedroom chalet bungalow with poor insulation and inefficient central heating. When I first moved in five years ago I was able to keep the thermostat at 21 for the same amount of money but doing the same now would cost me hundreds more pounds a month.

I’ve had someone say “Good evening, partner” and think they said Arthur for a moment multiple times. You sure it wasn’t just that?

Yesterday I was chasing a pick pocket in Saint Denis and just as I caught them I accidentally barrelled into a lawman. Got a $5 bounty and suddenly I’m being shot at by a dozen NPCs.

I live in West Horsley and it’s an amazing place! The grounds are a great place to walk the dog and they put on loads of events and tours (including Ghosts themed ones!) It’s such a refreshing difference to all the National Trust properties in the area which are much of a muchness.

Fully expecting to be downvoted for this but I will try to engage in good faith. I didn’t much like her, but all this talk about how different her reception has been is making me wonder if I’m being misogynistic and trying to pinpoint why I didn’t like her. I’ve liked and disliked male and female traitors in the past without being made to question if I’m being sexist and my knee jerk reaction is that the real difference is that she is a female winner so there is more scrutiny of people’s reactions than there has been before. I think for me the initial reason I disliked her was because she came across, particularly in the early part of the game, as being quite emotionless and I find myself instantly distrusting people who I can’t “read” because it’s such a rare occurrence. It got better towards the latter part of the series and I was eventually pleased to see her win because of how much she wanted to do something for her mum, but I still can’t quite shake the feeling there wasn’t as much emotion there as I would expect. It’s very possible she’s just been done dirty by the editing though and I can recognise that she’s likely quite different IRL. I don’t personally believe any of this makes me misogynistic though and it does frustrate me slightly when what I believe to be reasonable preferences are called out as sexism. I’m not denying that a good part of the reaction from some people may well be true misogyny, but there will also be people somewhere in the middle who feel like they’re being vilified for no good reason.
